  • Patent number: 11015094
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyurethane laminating adhesives, methods for producing a multilayer laminate by laminating at least two films with a polyurethane laminating adhesive, and multilayer laminates obtainable by these methods wherein the polyurethane laminating adhesive comprises an NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer obtainable by reacting a polyol mixture comprising: 0.1 to 20.0 wt % relative to the total weight of the polyol mixture of at least one polybutadiene polyol; and 5.0 to 99.9 wt % relative to the total weight of the polyol mixture of at least one polyether polyol, wherein the at least one polyether polyol comprises at least one polyether polyol with a number average molecular weight Mn in the range of >1000 g/mol to 10000 g/mol; with at least one polyisocyanate, wherein the at least one polyisocyanate is used in an amount such that the isocyanate groups are present in molar excess relative to the hydroxyl groups of the polyol mixture.

  • Patent number: 10577463
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compound comprising at least two —(NH—C?O)— groups and at least two —(C?O)—C?C—R1 groups, wherein R1 represents hydrogen or a group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; a curable composition comprising a first unit comprising at least two —(NH—C?O)— groups, a second unit comprising at least two —(C?O)—C?C—R1 groups, and a catalyst; and the use of the composition as an adhesive, coating, casting composition or as sealant.

  • Publication number: 20170369632
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ultralow monomer PU prepolymers containing free NCO groups obtainable from polyols, diisocyanates and NCO-reactive compounds, obtainable by reacting at least one polyol with at least one polyisocyanate, wherein the at least one polyisocyanate is used in molar excess relative to the hydroxyl groups of the at least one polyol to obtain a polyurethane prepolymer containing free isocyanate groups; and adding at least one compound having at least one H-acidic functional group to the polyurethane prepolymer containing free isocyanate groups in an amount such that the molar ratio of the free isocyanate groups to H-acidic functional groups (NCO:XH ratio) is 2 to 15, preferably 2.5 to 10, more preferably 3 to 8. Also encompassed are methods for its production, laminating adhesives containing said prepolymer, methods of bonding substrates and the use of the described adhesives for laminating two or more films.

  • Patent number: 9790404
    Abstract: A radiation curable adhesive comprising (i) (meth)acrylic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s), wherein said (meth)acrylic monomers or oligomers comprise 5 to 50 wt % of esters of (meth)acrylic acid with polyetherpolyols having the formula HO—((CH2)m—O)n—X wherein m=2, 3 or 4; n=2 to 50; X=H, linear, branched or aromatic C1 to C12-alkyl, the ester having a molecular weight from 150 to 2000 g/mol; (ii) non-reactive (co)polymer(s) based on unsaturated monomers, wherein said unsaturated monomers are selected from vinyl esters, (meth)acrylate esters and C2 to C8 unsaturated olefins, the (co)polymer having a molecular weight from 5000 g/mol to 500000 g/mol, such adhesive can form a solid adhesive layer after being cross-linked by radiation, the layer, has a non tacky surface but can be adhesively bonded under pressure to a second layer of the adhesive.
